About the host

Hosted by Jim Bethune

Host profile image
We are from Halifax and have extensive experience in the Hotel industry, however this is our first go at hosting our own property.

Why they chose this property

We were first introduced to this area by friends that have a camp nearby. The trails and scenery make for beautiful hiking and biking. We love the beach life so it just made sense to have a beach cottage that we could share with others.

What makes this property unique

This cottage was built in 2016. It's not your typical rustic cottage. It really is a home away from home, and great during all 4 seasons.
